Letter

Description
Manson suggests that Ross repeats his last experiment to see if it were more than a coincidence and asks Ross to send him all his facts and some slides for his opening of a debate on malaria at a British Medical Association meeting. He has a theory that the infected mosquitoes pass malaria parasites to their offspring who infect man through drinking water and suggests various experiments to test it. He adds that his guinea worm embryos are still alive after seven weeks and that he is wondering whether to risk swallowing one or two.
